Merida’s elegant tree-lined Paseo de Montejo is the city’s main boulevard and most fashionable district. Once a primarily residential area, Paseo de Montejo in Merida has since been commercialized. Many of the historic 19th century mansions that line the boulevard have been converted into restaurants. Others have been converted into nightclubs, boutique hotels, shops, offices, and museums.

Located northeast of the central plaza and architecturally reminiscent of Havana, Cuba, the area surrounding the Paseo de Montejo in Merida was developed during the henequen boom of the late 19th and early 20th century. Plantation owners looking to move out of the city’s historic center built gorgeous mansions along this stretch of boulevard.

The Paseo de Montejo is home to Merida’s Monumento a la Bandera (Flag Monument) and Museo Regional de Antropologia (Regional Anthropology Museum) which is housed in the Palacio Canton, one of the grandest mansions along the boulevard. Visit the Regional Anthropology Museum to learn about the pre-Columbian history of the Yucatan Peninsula as well as to tour one of the city’s most splendid colonial buildings.

It is the first time that I make use of a beauty salon without recommendations from anyone. His salon was located by Google because it was close to my hotel, so I let myself be guided by Google's comments.

Lenny H. dice: Me gusto mucho el servicio, fui por maquillaje y peinado y las dos personas que me atendieron fueron muy amables y agradables, sobre todo en mi caso que no tenia mucha idea de que quería o que me quedaba bien para la ocasión, me fueron de mucha ayuda, ​al final me gusto mucho el resultado y fue muy agradable el tiempo que tuve que estar en el salon. Lenny H. says: "I liked the service a lot, I went for makeup and a hairstyle and the two people who took care of me were very; especially in my case that I did not have much idea of what I wanted or what I was good for the occasion.

Ann Marie B. says: "This is a fabulous salon. Every time I get a haircut from Robert my friends all comment at what a great cut it is and how nice it looks. Annie does my pedicures and they last for a full month, not chipping even with regular polish. She is a perfectionist and I love the way she treats my feet. The most important thing is that all the staff are so warm and welcoming. They really take care of me and I wish that I could be pampered like that every day of my life." Ann Marie dice: "Este es un salón fabuloso. Cada vez que tengo un corte de pelo de Robert mis amigos todos los comentarios en lo que un gran corte es y lo bonito que parece. Annie hace mis pedicuras y duran un mes entero, no chipping incluso con pulimento regular. Ella es perfeccionista y me encanta la forma en que trata mis pies. Lo más importante es que todo el personal es tan cálido y acogedor. Ellos realmente cuidan de mí y me gustaría que pudiera ser mimado como que todos los días de mi vida."

Ann Marie B. says: "Robert Abuda Salon is about caring for the client. Each and every single Esthetician is qualified and professional. The shampoos are pure heaven and my cut with Robert always gets loads of compliments. He is a master with hair. The salon is in full operating condition, but currently undergoing a "make-over". The make-over does not interfere with the experience. Just another sign that Robert really cares about his clients and their time spent in the salon."

Sólo otra señal de que a Robert le importan sus clientes y su tiempo en el salón."

Robert is great.” Christine A. dice: "He estado en Filadelfia de vez en cuando durante las últimas 6 semanas, y esperé a regresar a Mérida antes de cortarme el pelo. ¡¿Necesito decir mas!? Robert es genial!!"

Christine A. says: Like many others, I have struggled to find a good haircut when moving to a new city (Merida). Robert rescued my hair from the last bad cut that I received in my last city in the US. I left the salon happy with my hair again. I'll be back! Christine A. dice: Como muchos otros, he tenido problemas para encontrar un buen corte de pelo cuando se mueve a una nueva ciudad (Mérida).

Patricia Q. says: I've been in living in Merida now for almost two years and I had given up on getting a good haircut. I waited until I made it back to the states to visit my hairdresser there, But it's been a long 8 month since my last visit to the states and my hair was driving me crazy. I saw a friend and she had the cutest haircut so I asked her for a referral and she gave me the name of the stylist Luis and Robert Abuda salon. I booked a cut for the next day. My haircut is the best I've gotten in a long time, I think he may have cut it better than my stylist in the states! Thank you Luis for making me feel like a million bucks! Rob, your salon is great...the neatest and cleanest salon in Merida and thank you, thank you, thank you! Patricia Q. dice: He estado en el que vive en Mérida ahora por casi dos años y que había renunciado a obtener un buen corte de pelo. Esperé hasta que hice de nuevo a los estados a visitar a mi peluquería allí, pero ha pasado un largo 8 meses desde mi última visita a los estados y mi pelo me estaba volviendo loca. Vi a un amigo y ella tenía el corte de pelo más lindo así que le pedí una referencia y ella me dio el nombre del estilista Luis y Robert Abuda salón. Reservé un corte para el día siguiente. Mi corte de pelo es el mejor que he recibido en mucho tiempo, creo que puede haber cortarlo mejor que mi estilista en los Estados Unidos! Gracias Luis por hacerme sentir como un millón de dólares! Rob, su salón es grande ... el más bonito y el salón más limpio en Mérida y gracias, gracias, gracias!

Also, Robert did not try to push his products on me." Sheila j. dice: Wow. Un estilista que realmente escucha lo que yo quería. No estoy acostumbrado a eso. Tengo el pelo muy rizado difícil, y Robert entendí que necesito longitud de mantenerlo dócil. Además, Robert no trató de empujar sus productos en mí.

2/22/2014

Luis is a superb stylist!

2/19/2014

Linda K says: Luis is a superb stylist! Sometimes I give him carte blanche; other times we discuss what I'm in the mood for.

Oh, and they also have excellent hair products available! Linda.

Jan D. says: Thank you to Luis for the great colour and hair cut. A fabulous salon. Luis was helpful, skilled and really really nice. Will recommend him and the Robert Abuda Salon to everyone. Great atmosphere, professional and fun.

Deborah S. H. says: I have my hair cut extremely short and Robert is an expert at getting it "just right". Coming to the salon is now one of my rituals when I visit Merida for my vacation. Thank you Robert and Team Abuda.

Hi Rob,
Just want to thank you for making my daughter very happy, she loved her new haircut and you did a great job with the styling. I know it's not easy to make 21 year old very happy with her hair, but you did it. Thanks again, S.

Gail S. says: I always look forward to my hair cut with Robert. He does a truly amazing cut that holds it's style. And that's difficult to do in this Merida humidity! I always feel wonderful leaving his salon. Big fan!! Thanks Rob.

Luis did a wonderful job!!!

6/20/2013

Angela D. says: I have always dreaded finding a new hairstylist due to frequent disastrous results. I have a difficult hair type with many obstacles, in the name of cowlicks. Too often stylist can't seem to work with my numerous spiral patterned locks resulting in a "Rod Stewart do". Luis did an excellent job cutting my hair so that I can manage it without much fuss and it looks great! I will definitely go back to Luis for my subsequent cuts. Thank you so much, Luis, for your excellent work!!!

Robert is Awesome!

5/15/2013

Maricris L. says: The salon is very chic and we were greeted well by Robert and his staff. They cleaned my hair with gentle products and then Robert went on to cut it the way I asked him to. You know how some stylists chop off your hair if you ask for a trim? None of that here. He styled my hair very nicely too, and was very good with conversation when the hair dryer is not on. We're in Merida at least once a year and spend a lot of time at the beach house. My poor hair gets damaged with salt water so I have to go back to the US with damaged hair. It gets really hectic when I'm home so it's hard to fit in a hair appointment with my regular stylist, which means I could go on for weeks or months with damaged hair. But not anymore - I will keep going to Robert whenever we're in Merida. I feel like I'm cheating on my regular stylist a little bit LOL but hey, Robert did a great job and is worth the visit. I wish I knew about him years ago but it's never too late!

Best in the State!

5/07/2013

OK amazing experience! Best hair cut in a decade! I so love you guys! Robert, always a pleasure. You're a doll! and Luis, you are in charge of my hair for life! Seriously you are the best in the state !!!!!

Michael E.

Muchas Gracias Rob!
